Dispatch Operations Expectations
• If you are a government employee (including hand/engine crews) you are expected to be self-sufficient and be on per diem. If this is a problem please see your supervisor immediately.
• AD rate employees are entitled to per diem. If you are not able to take care of your motel or meals notify your FMO so that arrangements can be made.
• AD rate employees will need the FMO to sign their time. The unit that did the hiring processes all time and travel. (i.e.: If you were hired by Big Bend National Park in Texas, then you need to take your documents to them for payment).
• If you are a field resource, be prepared to camp out (tent, sleeping bag, and personal gear bag)
• If you are staying in a motel, you must take your belongings with you each day. There is no guarantee you will be back to the same location every night. This is strictly dependent upon where the activity is occurring in the area. Make sure you let dispatch know what motel you are staying at for after hours dispatches.
• It is your responsibility to keep track of your time on an OF-288 and have the FMO sign prior to your release. Do not ask dispatch to sign your timesheets unless you are willing to give them a cut of your overtime .
• Visiting resources need to check with the local FMO/Duty Officer upon arrival to determine the need for cleaning tanks or vehicles to prevent the spread of noxious weeds and invasive species.
Initial Attack Operations/Protocol • Resources will be dispatched using the “closest forces policy” which states that the
nearest (in terms of response time) like resource will be dispatched regardless of agency affiliation.
• Initial Attack resources are to maintain communications with the dispatch center at all times. Check in with dispatch via the radio when leaving the station, changing locations, arrival on scene, and departure from scene, and when arrived back in station. Cell phone notification is permitted in those cases where the frequencies are busy.
• Report all fires/smoke to the dispatch center immediately and await further direction. A decision will be made based on set priorities, closest forces, Fire Management Plans, known prescribed fires, etc. Self-dispatching will not be tolerated!
• When reporting a fire or upon arrival at the scene of a fire, it is imperative to provide dispatch with an accurate legal or latitude/longitude in degrees, minutes, seconds. NAD 83 is the Datum standard for Dispatch.
• Before any suppression action is taken, dispatch will plot the fire and review the resource objectives. This will be relayed to resources prior to engaging. If a fire is a candidate that may be managed for resource objectives, dispatch will notify the duty officer for instructions regarding the management response. Notify dispatch if the fire is a WUI (Wildland Urban Interface Fire).
• All incidents are assigned an Incident Action Number. This IA number will be provided to the resources responding and will be used in communications referencing the fire (i.e.: “Engine 494 responding to IA 234”. Do not say “we are enroute to the fire”). Be sure to include this number on all pertinent documentation related to the incident (i.e.: Size-up Cards, Unit Logs, etc.).
18
• Once on scene, ensure the Incident Commander is designated and clear to all resources. Inform dispatch of the IC and when any changes in command are made. As IC, you will name the fire using a geographic reference (provided the fire has not already been named by dispatch). This name will be relayed to dispatch to determine if the name is suitable (has not previously been used). At that point in time all communications will be done by identifying yourself as the “name of the fire” IC (i.e.: Pinyon Ridge IC).
Remember, fire names must be a geographic reference. Do not use numbers or names of landowners, etc.
• No action is to be taken on the fire unless you have positive communications with dispatch. Cell phone communications, while not desirable, is acceptable until radio communication problems can be mitigated. If there is a need for a human repeater, assign a resource already on the fire or order one.
• Provide a size-up of the fire to dispatch utilizing the Cody Dispatch Incident Organizer. Use clear text so resources enroute understand the size-up. Use the incident organizer to document any hazards and how they were mitigated.
• Human caused fires require an investigation. Protect point of origin and notify dispatch. Dispatch will notify LEO and FMO.
• Notify dispatch of your intentions to stay out late or overnight by 1700, so staffing can be planned accordingly. Dispatchers have to follow the same work/rest guidelines as firefighters. Every effort will be made to accommodate but under rare circumstances it may not be possible to staff 24 hours. This will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
• Fire Weather is broadcast via the radio daily at 1000 and 1600. Dispatch will ask all resources (by area) to acknowledge hearing the weather.
• Red Flag Warnings/Watches will be read each day they occur. When Dispatch has finished reading the Red Flag Warning/Watch, units will be asked to acknowledge that they have copied and Dispatch will log each unit’s acknowledgement.
Ordering
• Order resources by type not by name requesting. For example, order a Type 4 engine, do not order E-414. Be specific in what you want (numbers, types, sizes, etc.) Be specific and realistic on the date and time resources/supplies are needed. Consolidate your orders the best you can to eliminate numerous trips to your fire. Give good directions to the reporting site. For requests that are unusual or unique provide justification. Strike Teams are not recognized by the dispatch system and those resources need to be ordered separately.
• For meals, plan on being self-sufficient for at least the first 24 hrs. When ordering meals, order at least a meal ahead (i.e.: in the morning order for dinner.) Don’t forget to plan for incoming resources.
Aircraft
• When ordering aircraft for your incident, clearly state any threats (primary residences, secondary residences, outbuildings, communication sites, resource concerns, etc.) and estimate time fire would reach the identified threats. This will determine resource allocation and assist with setting priorities.
• Aircraft assigned to your incident will flight follow with dispatch until positive communication is made with the incident. At that time the aircraft will flight follow locally with the incident. It is the IC’s responsibility to notify dispatch when aircraft arrive on scene and are in contact. It is also the IC’s responsibility to notify dispatch
19
when aircraft are departing the incident. This is extremely important when helicopters are leaving your incident and going to a dip site without a dip site manager. This will enable a smooth transition for handing off the flight following responsibilities.
• If several aircraft are assigned to your incident and it is expected to be a multi-day event, a TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) should be ordered. If an order for a TFR is not received, dispatch will take the initiative and request a TFR if deemed necessary. The IC will be notified if this occurs.
• Immediately notify dispatch of any TFR intrusions. If possible provide the aircraft type, color, and tail number. You will also need to file a Safecom.
Demobilization • If at all possible notify dispatch in advanced of the planned demob of resources on
your fire to facilitate reassignments in a timely manner. • Notify dispatch when resources are leaving the incident and provide an ETA to their
destination. This is very important when dealing with contract resources for payment purposes.
• The IC is responsible for closing out with resources (signing shift tickets, timesheets, and completing inspections). If you need help doing this place an order for an EQTR (Equipment Time Recorder) or PTRC (Personnel Time Recorder).

AVIATION PROCEDURES All flight following will be handled through the Cody Dispatch Center for all tactical fire missions. The standard 15-minute status check will be followed, NO EXCEPTIONS! If aircraft are equipped (which all federal fire aircraft are required to have) with automated flight following, the 15-minute tracking will be done by computer with an “ops normal” check every 30 minutes unless otherwise negotiated with dispatch. The aircraft dispatcher and pilot must agree to which method of flight following will take place (radio check-ins or AFF). Pilots must monitor at least one predetermined radio frequency as an alternate means of flight following in the event the AFF system fails in the aircraft or in dispatch, or in case dispatch needs to cancel a mission, divert the aircraft to a higher priority incident, or relay other critical information regarding hazardous weather, TFRs, etc. Regardless of AFF being used, radio communications must be maintained with all aircraft which the dispatcher has agreed to flight follow. To and from the tanker bases the dispatch center will flight follow using the National Flight Following frequency or automated flight following if available. Emergency in-flight communications will utilize National Air Guard. When using these frequencies, be sure to identify: Cody Dispatch Flight Follow, etc., as other dispatch centers in the area are using the same frequency and they may think you are calling them. The flight following frequency is to be used only when transporting tactical aircraft from another area to our local area or vice-versa. As soon as feasible, switch all communications over to the identified tactical frequency. This could be a dedicated Air to Ground or the local radio net.
Note: Incident Management Teams are required to request their own discrete tactical frequencies for their incident. The frequencies in appendices 1 and 2 are intended for the initial attack organization. These frequencies MAY be authorized for use in the interim, but will not be authorized for long-term use. Unless mutually agreed upon during the Delegation of Authority, the Dispatch Office will flight follow all tactical aircraft to and from the incident. Once on scene, the aviation resources become the responsibility of the incident management team.
The Aviation Hazard Map is updated annually. You are encouraged to stop by the dispatch center and review the map prior to commencing flight operations if possible. Maps are also available to download onto tablets, ipads, etc. from the Cody Dispatch web site. Please go to: http://gacc.nifc.gov/rmcc/dispatch_centers/r2cdc/dispatch/Aviation.htm. Then go to the Aviation Hazards section. Air Operations within the Rocky Mountain Area will operate utilizing the Fire Traffic Area (FTA) scheme. See the FTA Diagram at the end of this section. All aviation incidents and accidents will be reported to the dispatch center immediately to ensure the proper procedures are implemented. A Safecom will be required and a copy provided to the Unit Aviation Officer within 24 hours of the incident. Cody Interagency Dispatch Center utilizes BLM and USFS radio systems for communications. Regardless of the jurisdiction of an incident, any of the repeaters may be used to communicate with dispatch (See map on page 6). Radio relays are a viable option when encountering dead areas in the radio system. While on an incident, communications will be maintained with dispatch at all times. If communications cannot be established and maintained, resources will disengage, unless otherwise approved by the Fire Management Officer or Duty Officer.

Incident Aerial Supervision Requirements
Interagency Aerial Supervision Requirements When aerial supervision resources are co-located with retardant aircraft, they should be launched together on the initial order to maximize safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of incident operations. Incidents with 3 or more aircraft over/assigned to them should have aerial supervision over/assigned the incident. Federal policy dictates additional requirements as listed below.

RMA Helicopter Ordering Guide Help Sheet
Type = Type of Helicopter by ICS Type I, II, III (1, 2, 3) Make/Model – Self Explanatory HOGE (Hover Out of Ground Effect) @ 8000’ = This is the average payload in pounds that the model helicopter can carry at 8000’ elevation with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, (77 degrees Fahrenheit). Passenger Capability @ 8000’ = the number of passengers on average the model ship can carry at 8000’ elevation, out of ground effect. Module needed Standard = the Manager and crew needed as a module if the ship is a standard category helicopter. Module needed Restricted = Only a Manager, no crewpersons, required on all restricted category helicopters. Bucket gallons @ 8000’ = Number of gallons on average the model helicopter can carry at 8000’ elevation. The chart gives a good representation of helicopter model capabilities, these are averages and not exact. The two red lines show a break when going to a different type helicopter, might be more effective depending on the elevation. For example, if the fire is at 8000’ on a 25 degree Celsius day, a B-205-A-1++ would be more effective than the S-61N. the B-205-A-1++ can carry an average payload of 2196 pounds, and 244 gallons of water. This is more than the S-61N can carry with an average of 1899 pounds, and 183 gallons of water. The chart titled Helicopter Ordering guide 8000 is sorted by performance of type – highest to lowest given the altitude of 8000’ and a temperature of 25 degrees C (Celsius), (77 degrees Fahrenheit). It gives a quick view of what model of helicopter would provide good performance.

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAMS Type 3 IMTs Type 3 IMTs incidents can range from a relatively small to a rather complex organization. Orders from the Type 3 organization are placed with Expanded Dispatch (if one is in place) via cell phone. In the absence of an Expanded Dispatch all ordering will be done through regular dispatch, but still via cell phone where possible. Dispatch will assist the type 3 organization with logistics, plans, etc. However, that does not mean these positions should not be ordered and filled when needed. The intelligence dispatcher will be in close contact with the IC for completion of the ICS 209 for submission to RMACC by the designated time. This process is extremely important in that priorities are set throughout the region based upon the information in this document. It is imperative for payment purposes that all non-federal resources are tracked and information relayed to dispatch concerning arrival at incident and release from incident. All paper work should be completed prior to release (timesheets/shift tickets signed, inspections done, etc) Type 1 and 2 IMTs Ordering Utilization of the Resource Ordering and Status System (ROSS) at the incident by Type I and Type II Incident Management teams is encouraged. See expanded phone numbers under Dispatch Operations. All tactical aircraft will be ordered through the Aircraft Dispatcher in Initial Attack. It is preferred that the Aircraft Dispatcher deals directly with Air Operations. This alleviates confusion on aircraft types, capabilities, availability, and priorities. This process will enable dispatch to meet the needs of the team more efficiently. Any requests deemed by the Dispatch Center Manager or Expanded Dispatch Supervisor to be out of the ordinary, excessive, or unreasonable will be submitted to the line officer or their representative for approval prior to ordering. In such instances, justification may need to be submitted for documentation. Name Requests are the exception rather than the rule. They normally do not adhere to the most cost effective and timely mobilization of resources. If it is determined that a name request is necessary, the person requesting the resource MUST contact the “Name requested resource” in advance of placing the request with dispatch to confirm their availability (not just personal, but supervisor’s as well), unit identifier, and contact phone number(s). This information must accompany the Name Request. If the resource being name requested has not been made available in ROSS or with their local dispatch center, they need to do so immediately or the order will not go through*.
*Depending on circumstances, an available name request may not be honored or filled depending on local, geographic, or national incident and resource allocation priorities.
37
Intelligence The ICS-209 will be input into the system by the team. If this is not possible (unable to connect, no logon, etc) contact the Center Manager at Cody Dispatch and a process will be worked out. If it is determined that Cody Dispatch will submit the ICS 209 for the team it must be into dispatch by 1700 for transmittal to the Rocky Mountain Area Coordination Center. Incident Action Plans will be submitted to the Cody Dispatch Center each day for dissemination throughout the support organization (buying team, expanded dispatch, cache, etc) or posted to website for retrieval. Maps of the incident will be provided to the Cody Dispatch Center when significant changes have occurred in perimeter.
IMT/Dispatch Briefing Checklists Dispatch will provide: √ Copy of all resource orders or access to ROSS √ Aircraft Info Sheets w/ Frequencies and TFR’s
√ Briefing Guide √ CDC Mobilization Guide (contains directories) √ County AOP (copy) √ Aviation Hazard Map √ Aviation Plan √ Expanded Dispatch Plan √ Medical Plans
Home Unit will provide: √ Unit Fire Management Plan, Unit maps and Topographical maps IMT will provide:
√ Cell Phone numbers for team members

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
NOTIFY CODY DISPATCH IMMEDIATLEY CONCERNING ANY MEDICAL EMERGENCY
• Cody Dispatch will clear the frequency until the emergency is resolved
• Stay calm and provide information to Dispatch concerning the nature of the
injury(s) and patient(s) information.
o Number of patients o Location of patients o Type, or extent, of injury(s) – vitals, time of injury o Age and gender of patient(s) o Type of medical personnel on scene
DO NOT SAY THE VICTIM’S NAME OVER THE RADIO!
Call for an ambulance to respond. If there is a question in your mind whether it should be a ground ambulance or a Life flight ambulance – request a Life flight ambulance!
• Recommend type of medical response (Life Flight, ground ambulance, etc)
• Maintain communication with Dispatch for updates and to receive ETA’s for
assistance
Information on the following form will need to be gathered for all Medivacs. Dispatch will go through the information with the reporting party, completing as much of the information as
possible. As additional information is known, it will be passed to responding personnel in transit.
*In the event a Life Flight is ordered, resources will establish contact with the medical helicopter using the frequency VMED28 RX/TX 155.3400, TX tone 156.7 If contact cannot be established with the medivac helicopter, as a back up resources will use Air Guard RX/TX 168.2500, TX tone 110.9
